Good Morning, Lord Jesus

Good Morning Lord Jesus

Lyrics:
1. Begin the day with God, He really wants you to
Hoping you’ll let Him come and spend the day with you.
Rise up! Don’t wait! You’ll miss the Son.
It’s the best part of the day.
His taste is sweet, to all who meet
Him in the morning when He’s fresh and new.

2. Begin the day with God, He’s waiting there for you.
Morning by morning come, His mercy is brand new.
Rise up! Don’t wait! You’ll miss the Son.
He has so much for you.
Enjoy your portion and your part
Until the Morning Star rises in your heart.

3. Begin the day with God, He needs His people to
Be those who love Him best! Get up with this in view.
Rise up! Don’t wait! You’ll miss the Son.
He needs some to watch and pray.
Spend time with Him and let Him in—
To your heart so He can have His way.

Begin The Day With God

Have you had your cup, your cup of Christ in the morning?
Start your day with a little restoring
With Christ as your new beginning
What better way to start than to start the day singing?

	Turn, turn your heart in the morning
	Take His blood, be washed from all things
	Nothing's too big or small for Him,
	He's righteous and He will forgive
	Exercise your spirit in this way

Have you had your cup, your cup of Christ in the morning?
Start your day with a little restoring
With Christ as your life-giving drink
He'll fill your cup, He'll fill you up, until you sink in Christ

	Drink, drink up Christ in the morning
	Drink the One who's overflowing
	In your heart, from the throne He's flowing
	To reach you. With the tree that's growing
	To cherish, to nourish, to refresh, to supply you

Have you had your cup, your cup of Christ in the morning?
Start your day with a little restoring
With Christ as the heavenly air
Just by one simple prayer, you can breathe Him anywhere,

	Call, call His name in the morning
	Join yourself to the One who's soaring
	Transcending over everything,
	Just call His name and breathe Him in
	Don't think; the breath knows where to go
	
Have you had your cup, your cup of Christ in the morning?
Start your day with a little restoring
With Christ as your first and best love
Let Him love you, He's really good at recovering you.

	Love, love your Lord in the morning
	Open wide to His adorning
	By loving you, making home in you,
	Just love your Lord with all your heart,
	With all your soul, with all your mind and strength

Cup of Christ

One of my favourite songs to sing to the Lord at any point of the day. In this one, I tried to make a harmony line work as the melody, and then added parts of the chorus to it as a counter. This is the result of presenting an idea to the Body and having it… perfected. Each one has, amen. Best enjoyed with headphones on loud.

Lord, keep my heart
Always true to You
Never backsliding,
Always viewing You.
A heart that is pure,
That sees only You
A heart (I love You, Lord)
That loves You (Dearest Lord)
And treasures
Only You (I just love You)

Lord, Keep My Heart

My brother and musical artist/carpenter and fellow lover of Christ, Matt Fritz, played his home made cajon while we enjoyed the Lord Jesus singing this song. Making recollections for the New Jerusalem! Thank you, Matt, for your work on editing this song.

Come and let us return to Jehovah;
For He has torn us, but He will heal us,
And He has stricken us, but He will bind us up.
He will enliven us after two days;
And on the third day He will raise us up,
And we will live in His presence.
On the third day He will raise us up,
And we will live in His presence.

Therefore let us know,
Let us pursue knowing Jehovah;
Therefore let us know,
Let us pursue knowing Jehovah:
His going forth is as sure as the dawn
And He will come to us as the rain
As the late rain which waters the earth.
Therefore let us know,
Let us pursue knowing Jehovah.

I’m singing a song to the Lord

Lord Keep My Heart, sung by Howard Higashi

It's been a month since I recorded this, and I only got to redo and edit this today. Still, my experience of the jubilee has been so fresh! I shall be posting more in the next couple of weeks :D

Covers

The Year of Jubilee (Cover)

1. We must see today that God needs expressing on earth;
And for this we say, “Lord, increase in us!”
Lord, give us Your heart
To speak what we’ve seen and heard of God’s Jubilee,
His economy, the reason we pray...

To open their eyes,
To turn them from darkness to light,
And from the authority of Satan to God,
That they may receive forgiveness of sins,
And all that God has, all that God has done,
And all God will do!

2. Lord Jesus we pray, announcing the eternal life,
Enlightening all that they may believe;
Lord, strengthen us now,
Proclaiming this Jubilee, our purpose to live,
This gospel we give, to all who would pray...
 	

Lord, open my eyes,
And turn me from darkness to light,
And from the authority of Satan to God,
That I may receive forgiveness of sins,
And all that God has, all that God has done
And all God will do!

📝 Lyrics:

Torn jeans, I've always been a dreamer. I pictured my whole life when I was twelve years old
A cabin in the woods, a beauty by my side. This redhead wife of mine would be the sweetest thing you've ever seen

Now she stands in front of me
I'm the luckiest man you'll ever see
We'll be getting there if you dare to say that you're a dreamer

Torn jeans, I'm sick and tired of working for the man. These golden chains

Weigh heavy while the kids run steady in their bliss, the old man holds firmly to his cane
Old strings taught me playing is just another way of saying the words that lay heavy on my tongue

Oh my god, I've got so much to tell her
The joyful and the horror, just give me more, more, more

Now she stands in front of me
I'm the luckiest man you'll ever see
We'll be getting there if you dare to say that you're a dreamer
We'll be getting there if you dare to say that you're a dreamer
We'll be getting there if you dare to say that you're a dreamer

Torn jeans, I've fallen so often
But every bloody knee taught me to get back on my feet

Aidan & The Wild - Dreamer

prod by Harrison First

talking to my cellphone
holed up in a bedroom
hanging on a feeling
looking up at god 
i fucked up a lot 
I’m cursing at the ceiling 
the city never felt like home
only for a fleeting moment
you don't want to talk
and you don't want to touch
and this is how we’re dealing 
time goes

and what if i never find love again?
these paper walls are breakin in
and i know i aint gon love the same
so lock the door don’t let me in

touching on her body
it don’t cure the lonely 
i kno she got secrets
just a stepping stone
came here a for a moment
wake up and ur leaving
the city never felt like home
only for a fleeting moment
sinking to the bottom 
waiting for a reason 
hanging onto nothing
nothing

and what if i never find love again?
these paper walls are breakin in
and i know i aint gon love the same
so lock the door don’t let me in

hold on to me
(all i loved)
hold on to me
(all alone)
On to me
(all i loved)
hold on to me
(was all alone)

and what if i never find love again?
these paper walls are breakin in
and i know i aint gon love the same
so lock the door don’t let me in

hold on to me
hold on to me
on to me
hold on to me

📝 Lyrics:

I just wanna go 
Someplace far away 
All covered in your perfume 
Telling me to stay 
It's telling me to stay 

I just wanna go 
Wanna go mmm 
Yes I wanna go 
I wanna go mmm 
With you 

If I ask you, will you tell me? 
Would you trade love for any other therapy? 
Is this allright for us? 
Cause it's allright now for me 
Is it allright my love? 
I guess I'll leave now 

Cause I just wanna go 
Mmm 
Guess I wanna go 
I wanna go mmm 
Run so far away from all the thing you do 
Things you do to me 
Guess I wanna go 
I wanna go mmm 
Find another place 
Another you.

1
Everything seems to be a downward spiral
But I’m on an upward path;
Currents flow against me, still I keep on going.
Wond’ring if I’ll ever last,
“Do not fear”—I hear the voice of my Christ Jesus:
“Just have faith, for I am the Lord.
All will pass, but what you have in you’s eternal.”
So I simply trust His word.

Chorus:
I am not ashamed to be a Christian!
I am not ashamed to love the Lord!
I am not afraid to stand up for Him no matter what I’m told!
The world can’t understand,
But nonetheless I’ll stand;
Fire will only manifest the gold.

2
Though I feel like I’m the only one that’s different
In these cruel, crooked times,
I will be the salt that kills the world’s corruption
And the light that brightly shines.
Lord, it seems like I’m the only one who’s standing;
Could it be, I’m left on my own?
“Worry not for I have set apart a remnant
Who, like you, seek Me alone.”
 
Chorus:
We are not ashamed to be Christians!
We are not ashamed to love the Lord!
We are not afraid to stand up for Him no matter what we’re told;
The world can’t see it now,
But time will tell, somehow
Fire will only manifest the gold!

Not Ashamed to be a Christian - TS, GJ, EL, AT, NG

I don’t know if I wanna be anything that I said I would be, when i was 10 

but i won’t make you wait for me, thru job listings, trailer parks, stupid tears, and too much beer 

only to decide that “this is the future i deserve” 

but for now i know i love you, with a hug and kiss goodbye,
with no text, no call, and the worst part of it all, is that i’m not really trying to stay in touch either. 

there’s nothing in my heart and even less in my brain, and frankly i wouldn’t have it any other way 

and you got so mad, when i said had to go, that you erased my pictures, from your phone, so that you could pretend, that you never loved, never kissed me, never held me so tight, never even learned my name. 

but now i see you in the hallways, quiet as a mouse,, i can’t forget, just how much i hated your house 

the floor boards were creaky, your couch was all all ripped up, your room was messy, and your paintings were lifeless 

but i hope you know, that i still miss you, that i still want to hold your hand, and i still wish, the best for you. 

and i’m sorry you made me sad and i’m sorry i made you leave and i’m sorry you left, but some things are meant to end. 

but i’m sorry it was messy, and i’m sorry i got hurt. and i’m sorry i got ripped up, and i’m sorry that i wrote this song.

i'm more fragile than i'd like to admit

"El Amanecer" is my new guitar piece. I went back to my latin roots, and decided to create music for acoustic guitar, something I had wanted to do for a long time. I found inspiring colors, rhythms and  flavours for my music.

1. Lord, it seems
That I fail and fail again.
I see Your face,
But then the veils return again.
Emotion’s stirred, but there’s no change in me.
I’m living in my soul; I have to learn
A little more, each day, O Lord, to turn.

2. Lord, I know
That I’ve truly seen You, but
The vision fades;
I look away to other things.
Remind me, Lord, reveal Yourself to me,
That from my idols I would be set free.
A little more, each day, I want to see.

3. Lord, my mind
Is occupied with many things--
This thorny age,
With all of its anxieties.
My faith is weak; I’m caught up in my cares.
I need to learn to tell it all to You!
A little more, each day, my mind renew.

4. Lord, my will
Is resistant to Your touch.
Disarm me, Lord;
Don’t let me win against Your grace.
I turn my eyes and see Your patient love--
What can I do but stop and come to You?
A little more, each day, my will subdue.

5. Lord, I pray,
Make me desperate for You.
Keep drawing me
And training me to hear Your voice.
Lord, even though my progress is so slow,
You’re by my side; You will not let me go.
A little more, each day, I’d love You so.
A little more, each day, and I will grow.

A Little More, Each Day (Original)

Lyrics:
It’s he who knows, he knows not what he needs
The west winds blow, yes they’re blowing with the breeze
Some people never know, know not what to believe in
The great unknown
 
Look at this life and all we have found
We’re looking for something special
Only live once, only to find
We’re looking for something special
 
Hear the sound of my voice and the words that I’m saying
Like I never had a choice and it was destiny again
Satisfy my soul, fulfill my fantasy now
We’ve come so far along
 
Look at this life and all we have found
We’re looking for something special
Only live once, only to find
We’re looking for something special
 
Stay a little bit longer
We got nowhere to go
Come a little bit closer
You’re riding on the path that you choose
 
And you live and you learn 
And you laugh till it hurts
Music is the only escape 
And you smile and you cry till it burns deep inside you
This song is here to take you away
 
Let’s get a little bit higher
Let out all your worries and fears
We get a little bit wiser
I’ve got something to share
 
Here’s a word from the wise
There’s no truth in a lie
Time means nothing at all
We’ll add fuel to the fire, till we burn with desire
We’re all looking for something special
 
Look at this life, and all we have found
We’re looking for something special
Only live once, only to find
We’re looking for something special

The Great Unknown

Not an NACT song (will get around to doing that soon!), but a new song anyway. :D

Composed by J.L.
Key: D
Lyrics:
1
     D                   A         A7             D 
He saw a great crowd, following Him,
             G                          D                   A                              A7
He was moved with compassion and healed and taught them 
        D                      A              A7           D
And when evening fell, they said unto Him,
G                   D                 A                     D  
Send them away to buy food for themselves
G                       D                          A                  Bm
Five thousand men, apart from women and children!
G                                A  
How would we feed them?    
       A7
But Jesus said, 

  G    D                A                     Bm
"You give them something to eat!"    
      G     D              A                        Bm
For you have five loaves and two fish    
      G           D                   A               A#m-Bm
No need to endeavor to seek your own way! 
             G                D                  A            D    
We can all eat and be filled by Jesus today!    


2
He made them recline, in group 'flower beds'
Then He looked up to heaven and blessed and broke bread,
Gave to the disciples to give to the crowds
When they had eaten, leftovers abound!
Five thousand men, apart from women and children!
Yet twelve baskets overflowed
When Jesus said,

"You give them something to eat!"
For you have five loaves and two fish
We're reclined and blessed, so freely partake!
We can all eat and be filled with surplus today! 


3
No struggling in vain to try to do good
We can follow the Lord just by spiritual food
So bring what you have to give to the Lord
That it may become great blessings for more
O Never believe our bread will not be sufficient!
The Lord will supply us all,
For Jesus said,

"You give them something to eat!"
For you all have something to give
We'll never exhaust this unlimited Christ!
We can all eat and be filled and be satisfied!

And we know the summer is near

Then the Kingdom has drawn near!

But on You we set our heart.
             D
We are watching;

Make us ready, Lord,
                A7        D
For your second coming!'

2    Take heed to yourselves, be not weighed down
By anxieties of life
Besaeech that you escape these things
And be raptured to His side
Be watchful and be ready!
Escape the hour of trial!

3    Be prudent virgins with your own soul
And with oil your vessels fill.
"Behold, the bridegroom!" -- when midnight comes,
Will your lamps be shining still?
Be watchful and be ready!
Go forth to meet with Him!

4    Be faithful slaves set o'er His house
Give them food in proper time
When Jesus comes, what will He find?
Were your gifts well exercised?
Be watchful and be ready!
Obatain the master's prize!

lyrics: take a boat and leave
to an island with many trees
and there's a song in every breeze
that makes you never want to leave
when the stars don't shine no more
and moonlight's scattered on the shore
we'll come around
we'll be around
i think we're all just waiting to be found

i think we're all just waiting to be found.

"Wild Mountain Thyme" (also known as "Purple Heather" and "Will Ye Go, Lassie, Go?") is an Irish/Scottish folk song. The lyrics and melody are a variant of the song "The Braes of Balquhither" by Scottish poet Robert Tannahill (1774–1810) and Scottish composer Robert Archibald Smith (1780–1829), but were adapted by Belfast musician Francis McPeake into "Wild Mountain Thyme" and first recorded by his family in the 1950s.
